i think one of my favorite underutilized traits about cassandra is that she canonically talks with a very noticeable mix of slang (and most likely a slight accent). she learned a lot about talking and words from listening to others (predominantly gotham citizens, who talk with a lot of slang and a noticeable accent) AND by listening to crappy romance reality shows on tv. she uses “i dunno” “ya bet!” (or just an over abundance of ‘ya’) outdated slang (like cutie patootie, ‘he was totally hot for me..’ etc)
anyways like. imagine being ambushed by an actual gothic nightmare come to life, it is completely indistinguishable against the awful gotham night, its whole face is concealed, nothing to even indicate it could be human….and then it goes “haha that was totes lame loser” in a horribly exaggerated hollywood-esque voice. like we’re missing out on so much here
Funny how all of the Robins are like:
Cass and Damian: “My parents trained me since i was young to be a top grade killer. I didn’t have a childhood and i struggle to express my feelings and connect to others due to my lack of communication and emotional development growing up.”
Jason and Dick: “My parents died because of a villain, leaving me traumatized and resentful.”
And then there’s….
Steph: “Yeah, my dad is an asshole. I just….hate him. So i became a vigilante. Why i became a Robin? I just low-key felt like it.”
Tim: “Bruce just seemed kinda…….lonely and pissy.”

i wish hobbies had imminent deadlines so i would get shit done
Kon: If I had a nickle for every time I fell for an emo twink from gotham who's weirdly intense, has blackmail and stalking as hobbies, and crafts elaborate plots to convince people he's okay, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't-
Robin: One.
Kon: What?
Tim, taking off his mask: One.
tim being like how dare you imply there’s someone else who could pull off this impeccable combination of neuroses. i am wholly singular thank you
I also miss his glasses bring them back
I miss his glasses
I think Tim often listens to stories about Dick and Jason's time as Robin and feels so much envy.
When he was Robin, there was no hiding under Batmans cloak or saying crappy puns or laughing with him. There was just work and being alone.
Tim spent most of his Robin career either holding Batman together or doing things alone.
And then Jason came back, and Batman spent more time trying to unmask him, more effort into defeating him, then he had ever shown Tim.
It was only through so much time that Batman finally started seeing Tim not as his sons replacement, but as his Robin.
But still, Tim had the shittiest Robin run because he never truly got to be Robin.
i always draw kon with piercings - this is exactly what i think about every time i do so, and then i have a little giggle to myself about it
seeing art of Kon with piercings makes me imagine Tim trying to create a kryptonite piercing gun of sorts. I know that is probably not how it happened but it would be so fucking funny.
Bruce sees this and thinks Tim is trying to create a device as a contingency, but he doesn't want to tell his son that he already has several contingencies and ruin his fun, so he lets him be.
i have been trying to find the fanfiction that inspired this page, but i cannot for the life of me remember anything about it, sigh sigh, so i guess none of us will have any context for this and we can all just use our imaginations today:/
Edit!: loosely inspired by calumma —cassiopeia721 — chapter 8: Collision
